Albertsons Community Partners fundraiser
An easy way that SAMBA earns dollars (without much effort from us) is to shop at Albertsons -- a Community Partner with SAMBA. All you need to do is link you Albertsons Preferred Savings Card to SAMBA. And it costs you nothing! Click for instructions.

Volunteer background checks required
The Beaverton School District requires background checks for all volunteers across the district. That means that all adults who help out during the marching season, from flipping burgers to chaperoning to selling tickets at the Sunset Classic, must be approved by the District. The form is online and very quick and easy. Please take a couple of minutes today and click this link to submit your background check request: https://www.beavton.k12.or.us/volunteer/
If you have already completed the background check, it does cover all Beaverton schools. Your name will not show up on Sunset's list, but Sunset personnel are able to confirm with the district office that you have been approved. The district is working a web page that will allow approved volunteers to add additional schools.
Please forward this link to any friends or family who would also like to help us out during the season and encourage them to submit their request as soon as possible as well.
